You talk a lot of crap on liberals, but then you ask them not to do the same for you, don't dish out what you can't take. First off, your taxes. The wealthiest are taxed 35% at the national rate, so where this 36 came from, I do not know, unless you are including your state tax. Second, if you really are taxed '36%' then you make over 380,000 dollars a year. Most people who make this money have figured out a way to avoid being taxed. For example, you invest and then when you sell that stock you can make it so it is not counted as personal income by the IRS, meaning that you would only pay a 15% tax. There is a new law that even enables people to take something like a pay day loan on their stock and allows other investors to do the same; this has an even lower tax rate. This is the problem with the wealthy, while their personal income might be taxed at 35%, they can find loopholes so they hardly have to pay a dime. These loop holes are also newly created by the past few administrations so it's not like stopping them would go against tradition. In the 40's and 50's the rich were taxed well above 70% and they used to pay for our wars. Now everything just gets dumped on the middle class, who are the ones who give all of the wealthy their hard-earned money. You do get to choose how your money is spent. You live in America, so you pay taxes to keep the country running, you elect people to office who decide how the money will be spent and with whatever you have left, you can spend to your liking. If you do not like it, you should have no problem moving to a different country. Why don't we just drug test everyone? Keep in mind drug tests cost money too and do you want more to be spent on welfare? And drug tests would not weed out that many people because they would find a way around it.

I can see how you would be upset that someone would ask you to pay taxes. President Bush's method is much better. Just borrow all the money needed for the war in Iraq and let future generations pay for it, with interest.
And as for your points, how do you know that only liberals would report you for violating the set standards? You don't have a bias, do you?

Social programs have been cut so your hard earned money can be thrown down the rat hole in Iraq. Your tax cut has gone to increase the profits of big oil, health care and pharmaceutical industries.......As far as being reported, be happy you are not a liberal, we get reported twice as often as those of you on the right.

They only take a tiny tiny bit of your money to help other Americans in need. What is so wrong ?
